The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

I'm counting the days. The
film of the
book
(or the radio or TV series)
is going to be released here in the U.S. on
the 29th April. Decent trailers are now being shown on TV for
it. They've also available from the
official web site.

I should be thinking about the film with an open mind, but I know I'm going to
be comparing it with the TV series, that I saw when it first came out on the BBC.
For example, it's going to
feel strange that Ford Prefect isn't a short white bloke and that Alan Rickman
is going to be doing the voice of Marvin.

It'll also be interesting to see what 25 years of advances in CGI can do for film.
This is definitely one I'll be watching on the big screen, then buying the DVD
when it comes out.
